Answer:


\Huge \boxed{ \boxed{\boxed{\bf{49 - 4i}}}}

Explanation:

We'll start with the first term:
\large \boxed{\tt{√(49)}}. The square root of 49 is 7, so this term simplifies to
\boxed{\tt{7 * 7}}, which is 49.

Now let's simplify the second term:
\large \boxed{\tt{√(-16)}}. The square root of a negative number is not defined in the real number system, so we need to express it as a complex number. The square root of -16 can be written as 4i, where 'i' represents the imaginary unit (√(-1)). Therefore, √(-16) = 4i.

Now we can rewrite the expression with the simplified terms:


\Large \boxed{\boxed{\bf{49 - 4i}}}

So, the simplified expression, written as a complex number, is 49 - 4i.
